After about ten minutes of sitting in this stupid bed I just decided to take a nap. I might as well get used to sleeping here because the is what I have to call home for I don't know how long but the sooner I get out the better.

It wasn't long before I felt somebody fidgeting with the restraint. When I open my eyes I'm looking right in the eyes of the ginger I head butted earlier.

"It's time for your group therapy session Lass. So get up and come on, so please don't try and run because my head still hurts from earlier." He said as I got off the bed.

"Where the hell am I going to run?" I questioned as I headed out the door with him not to far behind me.

"I don't know I was just told to go get you a take you to the group circle. But hurry up because everybody is waiting for you. Come on this way." He said as he grabbed me by my arm and turned the corner down the hall, and into a nice sized room. The room had many windows so that lead it to be a very well lit room. The walls were a very calm lilac color and the floor was just this really ugly cream color tile. There was a group of chairs in the center of the circle, maybe like five or six chairs. And there were people sitting in those chairs all of who I've never seen before. But I didn't care if I would be in solitary I don't like when people grab me by my arm.

"Ok seriously let go of my arm or I swear I will break your nose." I say sternly and a little upset he is manhandling me. He isn't listening to me so I start to pry his hand off my arm. But by the time he lets go we already made it to the circle. And I just glare at him and he glares back.

"Sit!" He demanded. I don't take to kind to people telling me what to do, so I just stood there staring at him. "Do I have to chain your arse to the chair I will if I have to! Or maybe I can gave ya another needle to the rib again!" He smirks.

"I hate you Ginger Snap this isn't over!" I say slowly as I take a seat in the circle not really in the mood to be drugged again. As I look around I only recognize one person and that is Randy who is sitting almost directly in front of me. Everybody else is just staring at me like I have two heads. "What the hell are you all looking at?!" I snap causing everybody to look away and a brunette women who was smiling very widely to step in front of me. She was wearing an Aero Springs shirt that had many robots and dinosaurs drawn along the bottem of the shirt, so I assume she was the instructor or somthing like that.

"Oh well you must be Victoria welcome to Aero Springs. My name is Bayley and I am your group therapy instructor!" She smiled as she leaned over and gave me a hug. I hate hugs so I push her off of me.

"Don't touch me ever!"

"Well somebody is a bit moody today huh!?" She giggled. She is way too happy for me to handle, I can tell this is going to be hell.

"Yea well if you were forced to come here against your will, and then when you try to leave they tackle you down and stick you with a needle that makes you pass out for thirty minutes I'm pretty sure you would be mad too." I remark

"Haha Victoria you're so funny! I already know we are going to be the bestest of friends. Anyways since we have a new member here lets all introduce ourselves. Who wants to go first?" She smiles as she looks around for a volunteer.

"I will go first!" Said a guy with a black fauxhawk that had a blonde patch.

"Oh good Alex go ahead and introduce yourself!" Bayley smiled

"Well hello everyone my name is Alex!"

Hi Alex everybody says

"And I was addicted to alcohol, but then I realized that not only was I hurting my self but the people I love were hurting also. So I decided to make a change" He said then sat down.

"Ok Alex who do you choose to go next?" Bayley asks. He looks at me but I give him a glare and he looks at someone else.

"Umm I choose Bobby." He spoke pointing to the guy to my left who had to be some sort of athlete because he looked like he was no stranger to the gym. He also had short black hair with a chinstrap beard. It was after that, that I zoned out not really caring about what others had to say but it seemed we are all here for one of two reasons. Alcoholism, anger management, or both. I zoned out until it was Randy's turn to go.

"Hello my name is Randy."

Hi Randy

"And I am here because I was a heavy drinker and when I am drunk apparently I have anger issues. Then my wife divorced me because of it and won't let me see my daughter until I sobered up." He spoke then he sat down.

"Great who do you want to go next there is either Victoria or Candice left?" Bayley spoke. Wait there is another girl in our group I didn't see one. I just thought it was me and... Jamie I think her name was I don't know.

"Umm Victoria why don't you go!" He smirked. I just roll my eyes and stood up. I surveyed to group of people and I notice that there is infact another girl she was sitting on the other side of Bobby I think his name was. He is a pretty big guy he must have blocked her out completly from my vision. But she looks like she would never hurt a fly. I can't wait to find out what she is doing here.

"Hi my name is Victoria." I said plainly not really taking my eyes off Candice. She looks up and wow she is beautiful she looks so innocent.

Hi Victoria they all say causing me to break eye contact with her and continue what I was saying.

"Umm apparently I am an angry alcoholic who also has anger problems when sober, so I was forced to come here by a judge or it's off to the jail house for me." I shrug then looked directly at Candice. "Your turn Candice." I smirk to which she just looks at me and the stands up as I sit down.

"Hello my name is Candice."

Hi Candice everybody says and she is still staring at me then quickly looks away.

"I am a depression drinker, and sometimes when I drink I cut myself. And I've done it enough times that my family insisted I come here." She said and then sat down.

"Ok great now that everybody knows everybody let's get started. Today we are going to talk about the dangers of alcohol." Bayley said

If you asked me what she talked about I couldn't tell you I tuned out right after she said that alcohol is never the answer. I dunno what she is talking about because it may not be the answer but it sure does help forget the question. But whenever I tried to listen my mind just kept going back to Candice. Why on earth would such a creature like her be a depressional drinker who cuts. She looks like she could have it all if she wanted. She has beautiful long black hair and a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clock, with a pretty face. I'm usually not one to go home with a chick, but I make exceptions and she would definitely be one. I dunno but something about her intrigues me I just have to know why or what made her become a drinker in the first place.

After I think about an hour later she says the words I've been waiting for.

"Ok everybody that's it for this session today. I will see you guys Tuesday! But before we go lets hug it out!" She exclaimed then everybody gets up and start to hug each other. I just sit there in amusement. "Come on Victoria nobody can leave until you give everybody a hug!" She said extending her arms for a hug.

"No thanks I'm not the hugging type." I shrugged then everybody turns and glares at me. "What you guys can't be serious! Do we really have to end every meeting with a hug!" I chuckle. Only to have them stare at me.

"Victoria hug now! I have things to do." Bobby said sternly. I just sit and stare right back at them and sigh. So I get up and we all hug each other, except when I hug Candice she held on a little longer than the others but I pretended to not notice it. Maybe she is just a hugger I dunno I just met her.

"Ok great now does anybody want to be so kind as to show Victoria here around?" Bayley asked.

"I will do it! That is if nobody else wants to." Said Candice only to have everybody look at her like she was crazy.

"Holy shit! Candice this is the most you have ever talked during a group session and certainly the loudest too!" Randy smiled.

"Change is good right?" She smirked as she walked towards me and wrapped her arms around my left arm, we then began to walk only to be followed by Ginger Snap. "It's ok Stephen you don't have to follow us I can handle her." She spoke to him.

"Ok Lass if you need any help just give me a holler." He said before he walked away. And she began to walk towards the hallway we walked in from.

"You know if I didn't know any better I think ole Ginger Snap has a crush on you." I tease

"Oh whatever. I know he does, but I'm not interested I'm done with guys in general. They are just add stress to my life that I am in no condition to handle. Fuck it they are the reason I'm here in the first place. Anyways this floor is where we all stay. Girls in one hall guys in the other, and as you just saw the group center is down the hall from here." She said as we pass both of the room hallways and head towards the elevators.

"Oh may I ask what could a guy possibly do to make you hate them all?" I ask as we step on the elevator and she presses the ground level button.

"It's a complicated story." She said shyly as the doors open and we appeared in what I assume the lobby of the place, I don't remember I wasn't even awake to see what the inside of this place. "This is the lobby and if you go this way." She leads me to the left. "It will take you to the recreational part of the building. If you go to the right that is the detox part of the place. But anyways you have the basketball courts, then the racquetball. Then we have the gym right here on the end. You can either take the doors from inside the gym or you can take these doors and it will lead you outside to the spa and pool area." She said as she pushed open the double doors to reveal what I guess you could call the backyard of the place. It had to have been at least an acre of grass that was nicely cut. I wonder how far the main road is from here?

Well what do you guys think of the other group members? Did you figure out who they are? there are three guys and three girls in the group. But why on earth is Candice a depression drinker? Stay tuned until next time Captian America is my favorite super hero! -Joz
